You are a new nurse working in a busy ER department. You go into the medicine room and notice the senior nurse slip medication into her pocket. How do you respond?

"As a new nurse, this would be a tough situation to encounter. I would expect more experienced staff to be a role model of what I should do as a nurse. I do not know why the nurse took the medication or what the drug was, and it could be something like Tylenol or a more controlled substance. In this case, I think it is important to talk to the nurse that day alone and tell her that you saw her take the medication and that you will have to report her to the nursing manager. I would also use that conversation to say to her that I am here for her personally if she needs support through whatever caused her to take the medication in the first place."
